Alabaster and Spikenard

In Mark 14:3-9, we see a woman displaying an act of full and pure devotion for Jesus. I'm quite familiar with this account, but recently in church I learned more details about why this was such a big deal. I did a little Internet searching on my own and learned a few...

Advice from Pastors

I've gone through some older notes I've kept from sermons years ago. I've chosen a few phrases for some helpful advice. You're not special, you're unique. Unity in church comes when we stop thinking of ourselves as special and start thinking of ourselves as being...

The Resurrection of Lazarus

In John 11:1-45, we see a story that I've heard so many times that I run the risk of being over-familiar with it. But while thinking about it over the past few days, I've wondered what it must have been like to see it. I read it again, spending some time on it....

No Skipping; You’ll Miss a Good Story

While I wouldn't call what I'm going through right now "suffering," it does remind me of something I've written before called Skipping Suffering. There are things in life that you can't and shouldn't skip, or you'll miss out on something very important. I'm at a point...

Not so long ago I heard someone say that grace is forgiveness squared. Not only does it forgive, it takes the offender in, just like Jesus Christ does for us. Which brings me to something else mentioned within the same context, from a friend who remembered a story...

Important Questions

Thankful for Friends

Some of you  may have noticed that I didn't post on Friday like I said I would, and I feel really bad about that. Sometimes life just gets you busy and you completely forget. Nothing to do about it but post today. As I mentioned in the last post (Busy But Not...

Busy But Not Worried

Some of you might have noticed I missed a blog Monday. I'll write today's blog tomorrow to catch up. I've been busy again, this time with Vacation Bible School at church and some other life choices that will affect my future. I suppose I've been vague enough about...

Crossroads

I haven't mentioned it much on my blog, but lately I've had several life crossroads happening all at once and one right after the other. I know how to choose the path ahead, I'm just unsure what things are going to look like on the way. I know God is with me and I'm...
